JAMMU, Apr 10: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla has said that Congress will stage a come back in J&K in the coming assembly elections.
He was addressing a meeting of prominent persons of Simbal Camp in RS Pura the other day organized by Congress leader Harcharan Singh. The issues of farmers, residents of border areas, refugees of 1947, 1965 and 1971, unemployed youth, SCs/STs and OBCs and favoritism, nepotism in jobs, dominated the deliberations.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said that Congress is the only alternative available to the people in J&K and now the public has made up mind to bring back Congress to power. The people of Jammu have experienced that BJP has cheated them on different emotional slogans and false promises only to achieve power but back-tracked on all those issues for the sake of power. The BJP exploited the people on different slogans on the name of religion, regions and castes but it was a tool to seek votes through these emotional issues.
Bhalla said that Modi Govt failed in J&K and the prevailing political and security scenario is the example of total failure of the Central Govt which left erstwhile state in total chaos. Asking the party rank and file to expose the misdeeds and failures of the BJP to educate the masses whose problems have been complicated besides disturbing the social and secular fabric of J&K.
Congress leader accused BJP Government of habitual in raking up controversies to divert the attention of the people from their failure to provide a credible Government in J&K. Government is creating controversies as per pre-planned strategy in order to keep the people engaged and to divert the attention of people from the utter failure of the Government in J&K.
Bhalla strongly raised the issue of PoJK refugees who feel cheated and betrayed. It was Congress party which had framed a package of PoJK and Chhamb refugees and forwarded to the Centre Govt but instead of Rs 30 lakh per family, only Rs 5.5 lakh per family was sanctioned by BJP Govt. but that too has been stopped. It is totally arbitrary and anti- refugees approach of Modi Govt, as large number of eligible families are still deprived of Rs 5.5 lakh installment while people were assured further installments.
